§ Mr. T. M. HEALY(by Private Notice)asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he has any information as to the cause of the seizure of a printing business in Athlone and the suppression of the "Westmeath Independent," whereby many printers have been thrown out of employment, and who is responsible?
§ Mr. HEALYI wrote to the right hon. Gentleman last night, and put on an extra stamp. Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether his attention has been called to this matter, and to the fact that many printers have been thrown out of employment in the town of Athlone by reason of the seizure of these printing works?
§ Mr. DUKEMy hon. and learned Friend had better give me notice of that question. I know that the plant of the "Westmeath Independent" has been seized, but as to the other parts of the question I cannot say.
